Portman, Strickland campaigns win praise from Washington Post’s politics watcher
Republican Rob Portman was a big winner and Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland was a loser but both ran great campaigns - according to the “The Fix” , Chris Cillizza’s politics blog on washingtonpost.com.
Cillizza declared Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s successful effort to retain his Nevada U.S. Senate seat against Republican Sharron Angle as the “Best 2010 Campaign” and listed Portmans’ big win in Ohio’s U.S. Senate race over Democratic Gov. Lee Fisher and Strickland’s loss to Republican challenger John Kasich as runners up.
Strickland was the only loser named.
“Why?,” Cillizza wrote. “Because faced with a stalled economy and a national wave cresting on his party, Strickland managed to hang tough for the entirety of this campaign against Rep. John Kasich”
Portman, meanwhile, carried lots of baggage into the race as a former top aide to President George W. Bush but overcame it all, Cillizza said.
Portman “did, literally, everything right: he outraised and outworked Lt. Gov. Lee Fisher throughout early 2009 and 2010 … By the time average people started paying attention, the race was already over.”

It is good that Portman won and with a good, honest fight. I, too, see it to be extremely important for John Boehner and Portman to fight for basics, smaller govt. and stand strong against the healthcare bill, cap and trade and anything else these extremists like Soros, Van Jones and Cass Sunstein come up with. Who knows, maybe other characters from Acorn are working along with Obama on these near communist goals. I don’t like Obama’s distance from Christianity and seemingly support for Islam. Islam is nothing to me. Christ is my Lord and the name America prospered under.

I am so pleased Portman won and believe he did so with integrity. It is so important to build a good legislative group to stand against the healthcare bill and the evils that George Soros will come up with while rubbing elbows with President Obama. The healthcare bill takes away more rights than it could ever do good. That Van Jones and Cass Sunstein are not far behind Obama with their restrictive plans to take our gun rights and mess with our freedom of speech. Why hasn’t Cox News/Hamilton an Dayton allowed us to start making comments on the Opinion section, yet?
